Toronto Hot Trailer: 'Underground: The Julian Assange Story'

An Australian TV movie that chronicles the WikiLeaks founder’s years as a teenage computer hacker in Melbourne in the late 1980s screens Saturday at the Toronto International Film Festival. Newcomer Alex Williams plays Assange, with Rachel Griffiths as his activist mother Christine, Laura Wheelwright as his girlfriend, and Anthony LaPaglia as the cop who investigates the case. Written and directed by Robert Connolly and based on the 1997 novel Underground: Tales Of Hacking, Madness And Obsession On The Electronic Frontier by Suelette Dreyfus, the telepic was commissioned by Australia’s Network Ten, which will air it next month. NBCUniversal International is distributing worldwide. Assange is currently holed up inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London to avoid being arrested and extradited to Sweden for questioning about alleged sexual misconduct or to the U.S. over Wikileaks’ release of confidential diplomatic information.

Personally, I am inspired by Julian…
We need more transparency and accountability in our governments. I mean, that’s what I have voted for time and again only to be disappointed by their empty promises. I am glad that Wikileaks and Julian are providing the service which was supposed to be implemented years ago, if promises were kept…
Bravo to all involved in the production of this film!
Infinite love is the only truth, everything else is illusion :)
